There are lots of different rumors about the weight of the front seatings.
I read in one forum : 31,48kg each one. But one friend from an Italian forum weighed the seating and the result was almost 34 kg (75 lbs!!) each one.
The performance ones seem to be lighter : around 24,5 kg each one (54,4 lbs).But from a German catalogue it seems that they declare only 3 kg less (6,6lbs) for each seating. I think we need an help for the translation from a German friend...:-)

As BMW-M-Mexico has pointed out, the seats do have air bags.

It's reiterated here that there are side-impact airbags, also the site mentions that the seats are heated... I couldn't find anything to suggest that they were significantly lighter than stock weight.

They are $31,250 pesos each with taxes and everything. A tad over $3 thousand each. Be happy to help you out, but maybe you can get them for less directly in Europe. I think its well worth it since they do have the side impact air bag and are made to fit etc..., etc... Let me know!!

Thanks for the offer. At 6K for the set, I will hold off for a while. I will prolly spend that cash on some other mods first.

Yep... BREMBO & STOPTECH (one of the members has it here) both make a BBK for the new M3.

Which company makes yours? you didnt specify a brand!

Hahaha!! You are totally correct, I did take a look at stop tech and the CCB as well and even the Brembo Race, thought this was the best option. For some reason I was thinking BBK stood for Brembo Brake Kit and its Big Brake Kit. Hahaha!! Oh well. This is why I was not aware of other kits.
